They have mixed a brew that somehow manages to capture an authentic and unique South African feel and flavour.

Southern African music has a natural instinct for celebration and Hot Water's live performances have a magical way of spontaneously warming any event.
Combining unusual instruments from South Africa and around the world, this cross-over collaboration creates a show at every performance, cutting across
boundaries of age and culture.

Hot Water offers a unique money-back-guarantee on all their performances (as well as their albums) and if you see them perform, you will understand why!

This creation emerged spontaneously to close our Pringle Bay concert with Barbara Kennedy on electric piano, renowned Austrian Erich Huetter on cello and me playing the Karimba or African piano (Mbira).

This song is dedicated to my beloved friends who shared our recent extraordinary sacred circle gathering where we were able in the most beautiful way to say YES I have told you lately that I love you!! May that experience and this song be a reminder to continually express your love and gratitude to those who make your life worth living.

This is just a simple plastic irrigation pipe(no holes or fipple) that is transformed into a sweet sounding African Penny Whistle. I saw a wonderful black musician (Mduduzi Mbuyazi) playing this pipe on the Waterfront a few years ago and was so inspired by what I heard that I decided to learn to play it myself and it is now one of my favourite instruments. It has a long history in South Africa and was played using a reed by cattle herders in many of the tribes eg Sotho, Pedi, Zulu who used to play to the cattle they were tending to help them produce sweet milk. I have handed out thousands all over the world and there are now many youngsters playing it on street corners and making a living doing it.

This beautiful and very popular song written by John Denver and sung as a duet with Placido Domingo, is a moving reminder that LOVE is what makes life worth living and that in both its giving and receiving, it always has met and always will meet every human need.

This moving song reminds us of the importance of Eco Literacy and in particular of cultivating a deep respect for our beautiful silver grey planet. The Ocarina which is an ancient circular clay flute is an instrument I have really grown to love deeply. Made from the earth of our astonishing earth it feels very appropriate to be playing this song with the ocarina......it is my gift to the earth and to you as the children of the earth.

This song was made famous by Karen Carpenter whose beautiful voice still echoes in my mind everytime I hear or play this song. The harmonica uses both the in and the out breath to create notes and this flowing life force balance offers something very life affirming when playing it.

I had this Karimba(Mbira) commonly known as the African Piano especially designed for me by African Musical Instruments in Grahamstown (owned by the famous Andrew Tracey son of the late and even more famous Hugh Tracey). It has 15 notes or more than 2 full octaves and this one is in F which is one of my favourite keys.

Roger Whittaker inspired me many years ago with his beautiful whistling(Don't Believe in If Anymore) and this wonderful song originally performed by Frank Sinatra just makes me want to whistle when I hear it.....here then is a 3 H (Head, Heart and Hands) dance expression of this knee jerk response.

The Clarytone is much more than meets the eye. This astonishing instrument allows anyone irrespective of their musical background or experience to begin playing recognizable tunes you have in your head in just a FEW MINUTES. To play it accurately does require practice in much the same way that singing in tune does.
